Poland’s top lender PKO BP will put its eService business on sale this week, according to the daily Puls Biznesu. The eService system has a 21.5-percent share of the market. PKO BP said it wants to keep its eService clients. In order to do so, PKO BP plans to use Czech Komercni Banka’s business model, which offloaded its terminal network and credit card transaction proceedings in order to focus on transaction settlements and selling additional financial products.
“We aim the company that’s specialized in providing the technology for the sector, with a know-how,” Paweł Borys of PKO BP told Puls Biznesu. “We are looking for a long-term agreement with a strategic partner.”
